wow. nice "Mothership" you got. very systematically done. just drop by here to do some research (hope you welcome the stranger  ). So far, have m15x and m11x experience any major problem? I read the reviews by google-ing. it says problems were the weight, fan noise, keyboard noise plus plus. no offence . i love gaming and i had my own studio xps 16 which i found that her graphics performance wasn't enough for me (soon for new games like MW3, DB3++). i'm a college student studying away from home. but moving constantly back home weekly. is m15x or m11x ideal for me? thanks in advance for all the sifus around.

weight, i guess isn't a problem with a backpack, will get used to it soon enough how does the battery life do? did the 9-cell battery spoilt the whole laptop appearance? how about the heat? is it produce a lotta heat when high performance mode? its has a really bulky design but cool though.

is it worth to get the GTX 260m(does it boost the rate a lot?) , 9-cell battery (does it expand the battery life a lot longer?), is it worth to upgrade the RAM to 8gb just for dual channel function? and what's the avatar selection for? sorry for all the noob questions.  thanks btw.

QUOTE(awyongcarl @ Sep 13 2010, 03:39 AM) I think different in size of M15x and M17x isn't really that much lol. You'll get to the weight by the performance, generally 1 more kg, not much of diff when you can feel the diff in performance lol. So yeah if money isn't an issue, got for m17x. lols. but still i preferred 15'. 17' sounds too big for me to move around. with it 5kg weight  (i was using a 3kg lappy currently, suddenly 5...) i guess i stick to 5850 since its cheaper and better for game.
